Ack! I only intended to drop by and check on a thread after making a phone call. I just can't resist a T-Shirt contest, though these are some of the worst ideas I've had in a while. I'm clearly rushing this whole thing.
Will go now.
Will be back later.
Avenge.
Discuss.

Yet another update: What we need is a mascot. Like Deep C. the Starspawn, or something.

Well, I adore Latin quotations, so here's a few slogans in that dead language.

1. Benedictus qui venit in nomine Dominions
(A pun on "Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini" - "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. So, in other words: "Blessed is he who comes in (wearing) the name of Dominions.")

2. Est deus in nobis.
("There is a god inside us.")

3. Vae victis!
("Woe to the conquered.")

Other suggestions:

4. Pretend!
5. Hoburg Hero.
6. My other prophet is an ice devil.
7. I fought the game and the game won.
8. Hoburg Hero For Hire
9. Hoburg Hero In Training
10. R'Lyeh does it deeper

31. To me belongeth vengeance and recompence
32. I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
33. The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
34. To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
35. For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of recompences

36. I inflame the hearts of hundreds of thousands, and ponder greatly upon the gods.

Then a couple from Lovecraft:

37. I have harnessed the shadows that stride from world to world to sow death and madness...
38. That is not dead which can eternal lie ; And with strange aeons even death may die
39. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

40. The stars are right!

41. I WILL NOT BE DENIED!
42. Over 1080 unique units and we still mod!
43. Who need high fantasy? We've got mythology.
45. The only strategy game with troll knights riding mooses.
46. Real gods play turn-based.

This one is probably a bit too provocative to some people, but I like it:
47. Yahweh would have played Dominions.

Then there's one that isn't in the bible, but ought have been (although using that one would probably include royalties):

- "And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

And one that would have been great, but is under copyright:

Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I play the game but to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone

I can advice a shirt for each Nation, with the figure too of a typycal soldier of that Army in the back?
This perhaps could cost a little more to have someone drawing the figures and to print them on shirts, but they'll be far more cooler.

1. WARNING: This game is dangerously addictive. It is NOT suitable for students, interns, apprentices,
or anyone else who is expected to pass tests on a regular basis. Do not
think about Dominions strategys while operating heavy machinery. The
demo has built-in protections which should not be bypassed. They are for
your health as much as for monetary reasons. Do not begin on the full
Version without first making arrangments for someone to check on you
daily. If you find that your game has continued for more than 36 hours
straight then you should consult a physician immeadiately (Do NOT show
him the game!)

(1. should be typed in text which gradually gets smaller with each line down)

2.
In Dominions, if it looks like a killer strategy
then look at it again carefully.
In Dominions, if it looks like a total waste
then look at it again carefully.

3. What we do every day Pinkie, try to take over the world.

4. My pretender can beat up your pretender.

5. AWARD WINNING STRATEGY GAME

6.
Me: Some play to win or lose. Others just to stay in the game.
Them: Are we talking about games? Or about life in general?
Me: Exactly.

7. It's for my Cult Leader resume.

8. I am their leader and they love me.

9. The best game I never bought off the shelf.

10. When I have this game completely beat,
I will teach you how.
(talk to me a year from now)
